Recap of Mai: A Mother’s Rage

Sheel Chaudhary, a middle-aged woman from Lucknow, works as a nurse at Geeta Bhawan, a retirement home. Supriya, her non-speaking daughter, is a doctor as well as a skilled stand-up comedian. One day, the small girl is hit by a truck and killed on the spot in front of her devastated mother. The driver is arrested and sentenced to prison for drunk driving, but Sheel notices something fishy about the entire situation. Despite her family’s cautions, she decides to look into the matter and follows the driver’s wife and son.

Sheel learns that the boy was admitted to a prestigious school with the help of politician Jawahar Vyas, whose mother she tends after at Geeta Bhawan. Sheel lures Jawahar to the old age facility at night by lying about his mother’s health. He tries to attack Supriya when he finds she is her daughter, but she injects him with a tranquilizer. It proves catastrophic for Jawahar, who dies of a heart attack after telling Sheel that he is not the culprit in her daughter’s death.

Shocked by what she has done, a desperate Sheel rushes to dispose of the body but is seen on camera by Jawahar’s henchman Prashant and his boyfriend Shankar. Prashant, on the other hand, unexpectedly assists her in concealing her involvement as a result of a previous favor she did for him. Later, he escorts Jawahar’s mistress to the corpse, making it appear as if it were a special forces encounter. An furious Neelam orders everyone to seek for a crucial crypto key that the politician possessed, which gave access to businessman Goyal’s bank account.

It has been established that Jawahar aided Goyal in a big medical scam and assisted him in transferring unlawful money from Gujarat via human couriers. Neelam is frantic to find the crypto key because it is required to access the account that holds the money. Sheel tells Prashant that she mistakenly discarded the crypto key and can guide them to it in exchange for information on Supriya’s killer.

Prashant and Shankar accompany Sheel to the medical waste plant and manage to find the key, but Neelam’s right-hand man Keshav intercepts them. Sheel renders him unconscious in the ensuing scuffle and tries extracting information out of him while keeping him confined at an abandoned house. Keshav initially refuses to give away anything but later cracks under pressure and admits to Neelam’s involvement in Supriya’s murder. He confesses that the latter was a witness to the scam, and thus, Neelam offered her money and then got her killed.

Prashant and Shankar take Sheel to the medical waste plant and find the key, but they are intercepted by Neelam’s right-hand man Keshav. Sheel knocks him out in the ensuing brawl and tries to extract information from him while imprisoning him in an abandoned house. Keshav initially refuses to reveal anything, but when pressed, he admits to Neelam’s role in Supriya’s murder. He admits that the latter was a witness to the swindle, and as a result, Neelam promised her money and later had her murdered.

Meanwhile, Sheel’s inexplicable absences strain matters within the Chaudhary family. While her spouse Yash drifts away from her, his elder brother and wife voice their displeasure with her actions. Later, it is revealed that Sheel was forced to give up her son Anchit to them and has yet to mourn her loss. She also discovers that Supriya had a boyfriend named Farooque, a married Special Forces officer who is investigating the scheme. They split up after his wife refused to grant him a divorce, leaving Supriya to deal with Neelam’s threats alone.

Farooque and his colleagues soon amass enough evidence to arrest Neelam, but things become tricky when Mohandas, Jawahar’s notorious twin brother, arrives. Sheel places the crypto key in Neelam’s residence and frames her for her lover’s death after seeing his dedication to find Jawahar’s killer. She also transports Keshav to the old age home’s cold storage with the help of her friend Kalpana and unsuccessfully attempts to murder Neelam. Fortunately, Mohandas discovers the key and promises to kill his brother’s mistress, but Farooque eventually catches Neelam and persuades her to confess in exchange for immunity.

Mai: A Mother’s Rage Comes to an End: Who Killed Supriya?

Neelam, who is being held in a safe house, insists that the police identify Keshav and grant him amnesty before she testifies. Meanwhile, Prashant, Shankar, and Mohandas attempt to eliminate her before she has a chance to speak up. Shankar is critically injured during a failed assassination attempt on Neelam, but Sheel heals him and joins forces with them to exact revenge on Supriya’s murderer. Sheel delivers Keshav to the Special Forces while Neelam is taken to another safe place.

Sheel sends Neelam a poisoned asthma inhaler as she begins to record her testimony, and she dies while using it. Farooque and his men have been suspended, and the case has been closed, as their key witness has died. Prashant is appointed as Goyal’s new associate, just as the latter had hoped. He thanks Sheel for saving Shankar and assisting him in achieving his aims, and he vows to assist her whenever she needs him. Supriya returns home, relieved that she has received the justice she deserves, only to be attacked by Keshav, who has eluded the police.

Sheel murders Keshav and goes to meet Prashant to dispose of the body, but overhears him conversing with the widow of the driver who murdered Supriya. In a surprising change of events, it is revealed that it was Prashant, not Neelam, who ordered the hit on Supriya and then lied to Sheel the entire time because of his nasty intentions to take Jawahar’s position. Sheel, stunned yet enraged, begins plotting her next course of action to punish Prashant for betraying her and killing her daughter.
